Vaalbara

Vaalbara was the first continent to form after Earth’s creation, 4.6 billion years ago. After the formation of the oceans, 4.4 billion years ago, land and sea were somewhat balanced. Vaalbara was quite small, compared to future continents. It consisted of present day Souther Africa and Western Austraila. It formed around 3.4-3.5 billion years ago, and broke up 2.8 billion years ago. The tectonic plates formed around the same time.
